A number of public footpaths cross the proposed link road scheme. During the construction of the link road, footpath access will be maintained but shall require diversions to achieve this. These diversions are shown on the maps below.
Addington Lane Temporary Traffic Lights
What works are being carried out?
The works are to connect the One Horton Heath foul drainage to the existing sewer network. Approximately 70m of new drainage will be installed along Allington Lane to the existing sewer. The site area is located in the Allington Lane/West End.
When we plan to carry out the work and how long it will take
The work will take 3 weeks to complete, commencing 11th September 2023, between the hours of 08:00-17:00. The traffic management will be set out after 9am on the 11th to avoid rush hour traffic.
Traffic will be controlled by 2-way temporary traffic lights which will be in place 24/7 for the duration of the works.
How will it affect you?
Short delays on Allington Lane may be expected.
Will there be access to local businesses?
Yes, all adjacent premises will remain open as usual. Traffic management will be set out to allow access into the business parks.
Can pedestrians still use the route?
Yes, a pedestrian route shall be maintained throughout the works. The footway highlighted will be temporarily closed at the top gate while the works take place.
Fir Tree Lane
As part of the Link Road scheme, we will be permanently closing a section of Fir Tree Lane. The road closure will take place on the 9th May 2023. The closure will be implemented at 10am to minimise disruption during the morning peak traffic.
The permanent closure will be implemented from a point 100 metres east of Fir Tree Lane/Allington Lane Junction to a point 120 metres east of the Victoria House vehicular access, an approximate distance of 70 metres.
Initially, to facilitate the works, our road closure traffic management will be placed at a temporary location 10 metres to the east of Fir Tree Lane/Allington Lane Junction. The traffic management will be moved to the permanent road closure position once the construction of a new western turning head is completed in June 2023.
